Very John Reid/CSSHL heavy after I thought he did a good job on his first list. That being said....its impossible to properly rank kids at this age.

How much do you think size will play a factor this draft? Less than other years or the same? I still think the big boys get more looks than the undersized players. Will any teams draft a player under 5 foot 9? I do think the bigger players will go faster than the smaller ones especially in the mid rounds.
I would imagine it would have to be less. There are some skilled average sized players and very skilled average sized goalies. Maybe if all things being equal they take size but I'm sure they account for 15 and not done growing vs 16 and maybe closer to being done growing in other drafts across the country
Last year's batch of drafted 14-15 year old goalies averaged just over 6'0". I know one team's prospect questionnaire includes the height of both parents. I'm thinking of hiring a basketball player to drop my son off at prospect camp.How much do you think size will play a factor this draft? Less than other years or the same?

There is definitely some talent there from what I have seen but I do fear that the PCAHA doesn't get the scouting numbers that the CSSHL teams get. Also the level of Tier 1 play vs academy is lower as I have watched both. Which kids do you think scouts are eyeing in the PCAHA? I think the majority of kids that will get drafted will be from the CSSHL.What do you guys think about the PCAHA league in lower mainland? Lots of good players at the flight 1. Should be a few kids drafted from there this year in the 2019 WHL draft? There are a few really stron US kids in that league as well. Just your thoughts.

By the way, he is now listed 5'6" and just received defenseman of month with 1G 11A in 9GP. Not bad for a first year AAA midget (no pun intended.) There's still hope for the little guys, I guess.Last year the Ice drafted Hughie Hooker who was a 5'4" defenseman!
North Vancouver will likely have the most kids - Babcock, Eisner, Kim; Richmond - Hikida, Taylor; Vancouver - Nicholson
Association Rep hockey will be Tier 3 going forward with CSSHL being Tier 1 and Zones being Tier 2
Can’t see him going to college. When’s the last time a high end Canadian prospect played in college? Jonathan Toews?
Dante Fabro/ Tyson Jost / Dennis Cholowski And these are just the 98's It happens. But not alot.
This is not a elite draft year for the WHL...Scouts will look at PCAHA this year alot more than last year, its just not as deep with the CSSHL teams,
There are a couple kids from the Everett team that are really good The big kid #6 Brendan Johnson and #23 Tanner Kloczko.North Vancouver will likely have the most kids - Babcock, Eisner, Kim; Richmond - Hikida, Taylor; Vancouver - Nicholson
